Psalms 60

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lily of the Covenant." A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.] God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

Mungu, wewe umetutupa; umeuvunja ulinzi wetu; wewe umekuwa hasirani; utuwezeshe tena.

2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

Wewe umeifanya nchi kutetemeka; umeipasua pasua; uiponye nyufa zake, maana zinatikisika.

3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

Wewe umewafanya watu wako kuona mambo magumu; umetufanya tunywe mvinyo wenye kutufanya kupepesuka.

4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)

Kwa wale wanao kuheshimu wewe, wewe umeweka bandera ionekane dhidi ya wale wabebao upinde. (Selah)

5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand and answer me.

Ili kwamba wale uwapendao waweze kuokolewa, utuokoe sisi kwa mkono wako wa kuume na unijibu.

6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: "I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the Valley of Succoth.

Mungu ameongea katika utakatifu wake, “Nitashangilia; nitaigawanya Shekemu na kuligawa bonde la Sukothi.

7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

Gileadi ni yangu, na Manase ni yangu na Ephraimu pia ni kofia yangu ya chuma; Yuda ni fimbo yangu ya kifalme.

8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia."

Moabu ni bakuli langu la kunawia; juu ya Edomu nitatupa kiatu changu; nitapiga kelele za ushindi kwa sababu ya Filisti.”

9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?

Ni nani atakaye nileta kwenye mji imara? Ni nani ataniongoza kwenda Edomu?

10 Haven't you, God, rejected us? You do not go out with our armies, God.

Lakini wewe, Mungu, je, haukutukataa? Wewe hauendi vitani pamoja na jeshi letu.

11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

Utusaidie dhidi ya adui yetu, maana msaada wa mwanadamu ni bure.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

Kwa msaada wa Mungu tutashinda; yeye atawakanyaga chini adui zetu.
